Abstract
The invention relates to a hearing device, comprising an electroacoustic output converter, characterized in that the hearing device has a tone generator for generating a continuous tone with a constant frequency. By generating the continuous tone, high range frequencies can be transformed into audible ranges by way of non-linear transformation processes in the inner ear.
